Biography
Mercy Otis Warren was born in Barnstable, Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1728, and she was married the patriot politician James Warren. At the time of the American Revolution, she published poems and plays that attacked royal authority in Massachusetts and supported colonial rights and liberties. During the debate over the US Constitution in 1788, she wrote Observations on the New Constitution, arguing that the Constitution's framers sought to undermine Americans' newly-acquired liberties, and she was suspicious about the Federalists' secret deliberations and hasty plans for ratification. In 1805, she published a three-volume history of the Revolution, and she died in 1814.
